The current state of affairs at Chelsea is a problematic one to say the least. Struggles on the field have worsened with chants for former coach Thomas Tuchel to return amid the dismal run of results, but Todd Boehly will stick with Graham Potter.
Potter's current playing squad is made up of ageing players, eager young stars, wantaway figures and others struggling for consistency. The January window has arrived at the perfect time for Boehly and Potter, with plenty more reinforcements expected to follow the three already through the door.
Benoit Badiashile has already undergone preparations to make his Chelsea debut after completing his £33.6million move from AS Monaco while future stars David Datro Fofana and Andrey Santos have followed the defender to west London. Joao Felix is close to bolstering Potter's offensive options on loan from Atletico Madrid but the midfield remains a persistent issue at Stamford Bridge.
